THE MOST HOME RUNS BY A ROOKIE BEFORE JUNE SINCE 1901 🤯

@Anthem_Singer delivers an incredible rendition of "Back Home Again in Indiana" for the 110th #Indy500 presented by @GainbridgeLife!

That guy rocked.

I’ll admit, when I was a kid in the 90s I definitely thought that Kid Rock would have less direct involvement with military operations

Auburn complained very loudly about missing the NCAA Tournament. I didn’t agree with lots of the arguments made on their behalf, but they went and won the NIT

Winning is a much better way to make a point than taking your ball and going home like Notre Dame football did this year

[Craig Choate @craigwchoate]

This is not a steal. It’s borderline assault.

[Sam King @samueltking]

Trey Kaufman-Renn had the fourth most free throw attempts on his own team. Purdue did not have a player in the top 350 in Division I this season in FT attempts.

[Ryan Hammer🔨 @ryanhammer09]

That marks SEVEN Sweet 16s in the last NINE tournaments for Purdue & 3rd in a row.

People hear Purdue in March & think of FDU, St Peters, North Texas losses but Boilers have been to Sweet 16s more than most teams win games at all in the tournament.

2 games from Indy...🚂

“I don’t like it when Purdue (fans) blast Purdue.”

“We’re giving attention to people who really aren’t Purdue fans.”

3369 characters and Matt Painter summed it up better in 2 minutes’ time than I could dream of.

Love my GOAT.

Why the NBA should embrace tanking -

The NBA has kate been misguided thinking that fans want to see their teams compete every night with a chance to win. It’s never been that way that way.

When I got into the nba, they thought they were in the basketball business. They aren’t. They are in the business of creating experiences for fans.

Few can remember the score from the last game they saw or went to. They can’t remember the dunks or shots. What they remember is who they were with. Their family, friends, a date. That’s what makes the experience special.

Fans know their team can’t win every game. They know only one team can win a ring. What fan that care about their team’s record want is hope. Hope they will get better and have a chance to compete for the playoffs and then maybe a ring.

The one way to get closer to that is via the draft. And trades. And cap room. You have a better chance of improving via all 3 , when you tank.

We didn’t tank often. Only a few times over 23 years, but when we did, our fans appreciated it. And it got us to where we could improve, trade up to get Luka and improve our team.

The nba should worry more about fan experience than tanking. It should worry more about pricing fans out of games than tanking.

You know who cares the least about tanking , a parent who cant afford to bring their 3 kids to a game and buy their kids a jersey of their fave player

Tanking isn’t the issue. Affordability and quality of game presentation are

Step up @NCAA

Matt Painter on the NCAA:

"We just want to know the rules so we can abide by them. We don't know what's going on. We need some leadership. We need someone to step up and break down how it's ran, how NIL works... give us the rules and we'll abide by them. We just want to know."
